ZOE

(Lightly.) Only for what happened him.




BLOOM

How?




VIRAG

(A diabolic rictus of black luminosity contracting his visage, cranes his scraggy neck forward. He lifts a mooncalf nozzle and howls.) Verfluchte Goim! He had a father, forty fathers. He never existed. Pig God! He had two left feet. He was Judas Iacchia, a Libyan eunuch, the pope's bastard. (He leans out on tortured forepaws, elbows bent rigid, his eye agonising in his flat skullneck and yelps over the mute world.) A son of a whore. Apocalypse.




KITTY

And Mary Shortall that was in the lock with the pox she got from Jimmy Pidgeon in the blue caps had a child off him that couldn't swallow and was smothered with the convulsions in the mattress and we all subscribed for the funeral.




PHILIP DRUNK

(Gravely.) Qui vous a mis dans cette fichue position, Philippe?




PHILIP SOBER

(Gaily.) C'était le sacré pigeon, Philippe.



(Kitty unpins her hat and sets it down calmly, patting her henna hair. And a prettier, a daintier head of winsome curls was never seen on a whore's shoulders. Lynch puts on her hat. She whips it off.)




LYNCH

(Laughs.) And to such delights has Metchnikoff inoculated anthropoid apes.




FLORRY

(Nods.) Locomotor ataxy.




ZOE

(Gaily.) O, my dictionary.
